| Description | The anti-war protest group that has been dogging Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) can expect similar attention if he votes in favor of the Iraq supplemental bill that does not include timelines for withdrawal.
“I think he’s been opposed to the war, and I would be disappointed if he voted to continue the war,” Code Pink spokeswoman Gael Murphy said. “If this is becoming rhetoric, yeah, he’s going to hear it from his constituents.”
Murphy said if Obama votes in favor of the measure it will be a “contradiction” and the “height of hypocrisy.”
Code Pink, always decked out in pink attire with a seemingly endless supply of anti-war slogans and methods of criticizing Clinton and other lawmakers who have continued to vote for war funding, has gone after Obama before. |
